SUMMARY OF THE SENATE APPLICATIONS
GM Kujirans! It has been a little over a month since The Senate was unveiled, and in that time we have received quite a few applications for positions. The time to vote for community members will soon be among us, so this article serves to summarise their thoughts and experience, organizing all this information in one place.
Given that I am a team member myself, I have avoided commenting on any of the information provided to remove any bias. This is simply a copy of exactly what each candidate wrote when asked three questions:
- General Bio
- Related Experience
- Personal Statement
Since this article contains 32 applicants, I do NOT recommend reading this article through in one sitting. Instead, it is advised to wait for the Twitter Spaces in the next few weeks and refer back to here when they are live. It will be a useful read to give you background information before each person speaks. If anybody decides against going on a Twitter Space, you can view their manifesto here too.
** If you have applied for The Senate yourself and would like to be involved in a Twitter Space, please fill in this form. We will be in contact ASAP to organize the specifics. **

CRJOBO
General Bio
OG decentralized governance designer since 2011 in the meatspace (keywords: sortition, deliberation). Degen governance addict since 2017 (https://degenscore.com/profile/crjobo). I am working on the next generation of decentralized governance to overcome the pitfalls of current Web3 governance (nepotism, low voter turnout, vested interest, non-deliberative discussions, polarization).
Related Experience
I’m working on designing deliberative processes for over 10 years. I am engaged in a couple of DAOs and governance communities to improve governance. I was using kuji from day one on Luna. I bridged as soon as possible.
Personal statement
This position would allow me to be at a place that would make it possible to test, from the inside, new processes and methods of governance for Web3.

Classified. What I can say, this may or may not be my first time on this planet/universe…
Personal Statement
It was written long ago, but due to bureaucracy (ideocracy), the ancient scrolls which foretold my importance to Team Kujira and any whale symbolism has been lost.
C3DRIK NARWHAL SECURITY
General Bio
Man, 33 years old, from Norway. No kids. Got a lovely fiancé that’s been with me for many years ♥
Currently on the path to becoming an engineer. Love creating new stuff and the process from idea to finished product is very interesting to me. I might come off as a silly meme-lord, but when it comes to economics, I’m very serious.
Related Experience
No related experience. But seeing that this “Senate” is a work in progress, I’ll go out on a limb and say that I’m not alone in this…
Personal statement
Kujira and its community mean the world to me. As a small fish, I’ve been exposed to many years of the negative sides of crypto throughout my years in the space. I’ll do everything I can to make sure Kujira keeps growing in a way that serves the greater good. As a part of The Senate, I can make sure the little fish are still heard.
DANB (DefiantLabs)
General Bio
Validator, Entrepreneur, Investor, Researcher, Degen
Related Experience
I’m a Kujira validator with expertise to vote on technical parameters. However, for governing community funds an entirely different set of skills is needed. This is where my other skills mentioned in my bio help. I have been an entrepreneur since 2018. I have a good understanding of the costs required to start up a new business. I will be able to identify if requests for devs/admins/cloud computing are reasonable and well thought out. I am also an Investor in both people and companies.
I spend a significant amount of time each week mentoring / educating people in the kujira/cosmos ecosystem. Helping them become grown-up degens. I am also personally invested in Kujira and want to see this ecosystem prosper. I am also a researcher, I am very good at getting information and distilling it into an understandable format. I use this type of critical thinking every day to make complicated decisions in all my ventures. I will apply this same determination to help make Kujira a Success with people and companies. I spend a significant amount of time each week mentoring / educating people in the kujira/cosmos ecosystem. Helping them become grown-up degens.
Personal Statement
This position is important to me. It is a duty that serves the community. I have a history of service for my country and would like to serve the Kujira community in this same way with some of my time. It’s a lot of work for 75 validator teams to handle both infrastructure and the management of community funds. By serving in this role, it would allow validators to spend more time securing / growing the technical components of Kujira, like relays, high availability, and security. I am not only doing this for the validators but for all the Kujirans out there. I would be available to anyone who is confused or concerned or doesn’t have the time to research each proposal. This will allow them to still have a voice but free them up time-wise to contribute in other ways to the growth of Kujira.

I helped write up the new Kujira internal documents at docs.kujira.app — I understand our community values and take them very seriously.
Personal Statement
This position synergizes well with my responsibilities in researching the community and ecosystem as part of general product and user research. I enjoy general innovation and strategy — and being on the Senate allows me to stay involved with the community while leveraging my knowledge to best serve their interests. If I don’t get the position, I’ll continue doing my best creating value elsewhere in whatever way I can regardless, but the senate position would definitely be convenient.

Related Experience
I believe blockchain technology is the future and can be a great equalizer on a world full of inequality. The nerd in me is childishly fascinated by learning and using dApps, particularly in defi.

In my role as independent board counsel, I am used to advise on complex matters, balancing risk vs reward and sniffing out bullshit. With a few decades of professional experience as an outside counsel, you get pretty good at that.
Personal Statement
Of all the crypto projects and communities out there, I love Kuji like no other. I would be honored to contribute my time and experience to help grow the ecosystem and make many ppl whales in the process. I am also active in other defi projects in the Cosmos, Fantom, Avax and Solana ecosystems and actively follow defi developments. This would be my way to help the project and team I like the most.

TOGWOS (KUJIKAST)
General Bio
Creator. Visionary. Dreamweaver… Kuji Kast.
Related Experience
Before my Web3 journey, I graduated from UCL with a degree in Ancient History. They had a Senate back then. The first one ever. Which I studied. So in a way, my experience goes back as far as possible…
Pre-crypto I worked as an actor, comedian, and filmmaker, and during this time I was involved in securing finance for a television pilot. I also worked for a conference company for 5+ years and would converse with companies to bring them to events at varying rates on various packages depending on their needs (group attendance, sponsorship etc). I would also assist startups in arranging meetings with Private Investors and Family Offices.
I have also been a part of Kujira since pre-IDO. I have consistently been a believer and supporter and this led to the creation of Kuji Kast early this year. As part of making the show, I follow all the happenings of Kujira on a daily basis as well as speaking closely with each protocol that either has or is planning to launch.
Personal Statement
I believe very strongly in what Kujira is doing and have the strongest desire to see it grow. Having spoken directly with each protocol and forged strong relationships with them I have gained strong insight into who they are, what they require, and what they intend to achieve. I plan to continue to do this with each emerging project.
I believe I will add a different element to the Senate; I see protocols and the people within them as essentially assets. For Kujira to be special we need to attract the best; I feel sometimes we as a community can be critical of newcomers (as we need to be) but also I see a need to balance this and ensure we create a welcoming environment where the best people want to be.
A vote for me is a vote for love.

Personal Statement
I’m a Kuji holder and very excited about where Kujira goes in the future. I see the role of the Kujira senate as being key to good governance while also adding value to the Kujira chain and community. The senate will enable Kujira to respond quickly to opportunities, but also safeguard against bad players. It’s important that the senate is as diverse in the background as possible so as to represent the entire Kujira community. I believe my experience and skill set would be of value to the Kujira senate
VANESSA HARRIS
General Bio
Vanessa is an experienced Product Leader with more than 20 years founding and leading products at Google and Microsoft. For the last two years she has led products in Web3 digital identity and DeFi for a number of Web3 startups.
She is also an advisor to three Web3 projects: Kavarii, a decentralized video streaming service built on MultiversX; Valorize DAO, a suite of tools for DAOs on the Ethereum network; and a stealth NFT project launching on Ethereum in early 2023.
Related Experience
Vanessa has broad DeFi experience across a number of crypto ecosystems including Cosmos, Luna, Cardano, MultiversX, Polygon, Ethereum and of course Kujira. She brings a familiarity with algorithmic stablecoins, automated market makers, crypto onramps and offramps, decentralized lending and borrowing, and token launchpads.
Much of her experience has been shared through her Youtube Channel, Just Crypto, as well as on Twitter. She is also proficient in the crucial crypto skill of meme making.
Personal Statement
Crypto is important because it allows for true ownership, transactions without a trusted intermediary, anonymity, transparent verification, equal access, freedom from government control and sound, predictable money.
We’re on the cusp of creating a new financial system that is more fair, more accessible. Yet we are beset on every side with centralized ponzi schemes, cash grabs disguised as businesses and DeFi reliant on inflationary tokenomics to survive.
A decentralized economy needs decentralized money.
It also needs to grow up.
Kujira brings grown up DeFi and grown up governance to the Web3 economy. The Kujira team has shown resilience through the greatest of storms and is building at a rapid pace with a best in class user experience. Most importantly they displayed strength of character in offering KUJI holders one for one redemption on the new Kujira blockchain after Luna collapsed.
I believe my skills, experience and passion can help Kujira bring grown up DeFi to the Cosmos and beyond. I would be honored if you would consider me for the position of Senator.
VLADIMIR GG (QWERTO ALIVUS)
General Bio
Being in Crypto since 2017. Rekt Lunatic, started vigorously supporting Kujira since May 2022 just because I once again found confirmation of my experience of what distinguishes bad projects and teams from good ones. Representative from the Russian-speaking community (https://t.me/kujira_ru). I act as a channel admin and a consultant for the community members. Also, whenever possible, I voluntarily help the Kujira team in finding bugs in the products. As a private investor, I am in the list of the top 100 KUJI stakers, invested most of my capital in KUJI. Project success == my success. My life principle is that if you take on something, do it well or don’t take it at all.
Related Experience
I had been working in IT for over 15 years. A computer science engineer by education, had the opportunity to try himself in different professions: Dev (C++), SRE (including as a team leader), DBA (including as a team leader), IT Infrastructure (middle manager), project manager. All this is in the different areas: healthcare, sports facilities, banking (the longest in time), and raw materials mining. In the distant past, I even tried to live off the income from trading (of course, it didn’t work out). I really hope to apply my experience for the common good. Eventually, I fulfilled the dream of many spending nearly 80% of my time in Crypto right now.
Personal Statement
Most of my time I am doing Kujira as an independent columnist, assistant, and consultant for the community, a modest generator of ideas and meanings. I am incredibly proud to be a part of the Kujira community because it has no equal anywhere in the Crypto world. I’ve seen a lot of teams around outside of Cosmos and there’s not one even standing close to Kujira. I will continue to do what I am doing regardless of whether I am elected or not. The main value for me is the trust of the community, and I really hope to justify it.
XULIAN

Crypto Degen, I try to educate the community and help projects grow. I’ve been working full-time in crypto since early 2021. I believe that crypto can change the world for the better and aim to help in that vision.
Member of Kuji DAO.
Related Experience
I’ve been in crypto since 2017, since then I’ve done everything from trading to NFTs, DeFi designing, and getting rugged. Currently I work as an analyst, most publicly with The Birb Nest as their Lead Fundamental Analyst. Also do research work with Apex Digital and other private advising for protocols and projects.
I am the Treasury lead for Pozzle Planet, a protocol on Polygon, where we have not only applied for funding across different funds and VCs but also designed tokenomics and how the protocol captures revenue. Also am a DeFi Clan lead with Rekt Gang (NFT).
I am also a Co-founder of Kuji DAO, however, I would not let this influence any of my decisions. Also, the DAO has 9 other members so I am only 1 vote there. In the past I’ve worked with startups, and also largely been an athlete so a bit of a diverse background.
Personal statement
I wish to push the growth and improvement of Kujira, this position is a way that I can contribute to the positive growth of the Kujira ecosystem. I believe many projects and protocols have struggled with their use of funds and often this comes back to bite them. I want to improve on the mistakes of the past and build something better for the future. This position means that I can look out for the ever-growing positive future of Kujira.

Much of my open source code is released as public goods, I also do regular free security health checks (darknet sweeps, osint and digital forensics) to advise the protocols I am interested in on their security landscape and any potential vectors for attack/exploit/data breach.
Personal Statement
I have a vested interest in seeing DeFi as a whole succeed, absent of malicious actors. I think I can provide a valuable insight into the governance process and provide fresh and constructive scrutiny that is unique to my set of skills.

Surely I’m not qualified enough for certain positions, but I can compensate for it with all the efforts needed to improve since I’m a fast learner. My main focus is critical thinking and I’m good at switching my viewpoint, these are some of my strongest skills.
Personal Statement
Because I’ve fallen in love with the Kuji-verse. Finally, in the shit-storm of crypto, I saw a strong community that wants and CAN change this world. Community is powering KUJIRA and this team wants to benefit all of us. Since Terra fall and your choice to leave it and repay all the people that invested in the project, I 10x times invested into the project. You can say that I’m deeply involved in Kujira and I want us to succeed!
